Techniques are described that enable automatic emergency braking (AEB) for a path-crossing target when a collision between a host vehicle and the target that is deemed imminent. Based on whether an acceleration of the host vehicle is above a threshold. Based on the acceleration, and, optionally, a location of the target relative to a crossing path (e.g., whether a portion of the target is within a suppression zone), an AEB system of the host vehicle is either activated or not activated, for example, suppressed. This suppression of the AEB system may include gating or nulling an AEB activation signal to prevent an emergency braking event. By managing the AEB system in a path-crossing scenario, many common false-positive AEB events (warnings, alerts, and/or braking) may be avoided. Furthermore, intentional vehicle maneuvers that comply with normal driving etiquette or rules can still be allowed for operator and passenger comfort, without risking safety.

A vehicle behavior prediction device includes a target vehicle detection unit configured to detect a target vehicle existing in a road region, a distance acquisition unit configured to acquire a front distance that is a distance between the target vehicle and an obstacle existing in front of the target vehicle, a turning radius estimation unit configured to estimate a turning radius of the target vehicle, and an entry prediction unit configured to predict whether or not the target vehicle is able to enter a host lane while avoiding an obstacle.

Disclosed herein is a method for transmitting a signal by a vehicle in a wireless communication system. The method may include: obtaining information on a predetermined position on a second driving path adjacent to a first driving path based on the vehicle driving on the first driving path; transmitting a first message which includes virtual vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle on the second driving path and reserves the predetermined position on the second driving path; obtaining information on a predetermined position on a third driving path adjacent to the second driving path based on the predetermined position on the second driving path being successfully reserved; and transmitting a second message which includes virtual vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle on the third driving path and reserves the predetermined position on the third driving path.

A remote operation device that drives a vehicle by remote operation exterior to the vehicle, including: an image acquiring section that acquires an image surroundings of the vehicle from the vehicle; a first display portion that displays the image of the surroundings; and second display portions that are provided at peripheral visual field regions, which are other than a central visual field region of the first display portion, at at least one of an upper side or a lower side of the first display portion, and that display objects that move from the central visual field region side toward transverse direction end portions.

Systems and methods for sensing the surroundings of vehicles via vehicle mounted radar sensors. A directional transmitter array transmits radiation into the region surrounding the vehicle and a receiver array receives the radiation reflected back. Controllers may use self-velocity calculation modules, wall detection modules, dynamic range enhancement modules, double reflection detection modules and the like to harvest useful information such as the vehicles relative speed and the identification of hazards in its surroundings.

Disclosed are a vehicle capable of controlling acceleration in consideration of a driving environment and an acceleration limit control method therefor. The acceleration limit control method of the disclosure includes determining a base value of an acceleration limit level, which is classified into a plurality of levels, determining a first correction value based on manipulation of an accelerator pedal, determining a second correction value based on a driving environment, determining a final acceleration limit level by applying the first correction value and the second correction value to the base value, and determining a limit acceleration based on the final acceleration limit level.

A method for lane departure assistance, the method may include obtaining sensed information about an environment of the first vehicle, by one of more vehicle sensors of a first vehicle; wherein the environment of the first vehicle comprises a passing lane and a current lane in which the first vehicle is positioned; determining, by a computer of the first vehicle, whether the first vehicle can successfully and lawfully bypass a second vehicle; wherein the determining is executed before starting the bypass of the second vehicle and is based on the sensed information, one or more driving laws, and one or more first vehicle mechanical parameters; generating a driver perceivable indicator that is indicative of the determining; sensing that the driver initiates a bypass of the second vehicle; evaluating, following the start of the bypass of the second vehicle and during at least a majority of the bypass, whether the first vehicle can successfully and lawfully complete the bypass of the second vehicle; and generating another driver perceivable indicator that is indicative of the evaluating.

Systems and methods for detecting a traffic event include receiving vehicle data from a plurality of vehicles travelling along a roadway. The method also includes where the roadway is discretized at a cell level into a plurality of cells. The method also includes identifying vehicles of interest that are within a communication range of a host vehicle. Each of the vehicles of interest are associated with a cell of interest from the plurality of cells. Further, the method includes for each cell of interest at each timestep according to a measurement update interval, calculating an average deceleration based on vehicle data transmitted from each of the vehicles of interest associated with the cell of interest. Additionally, the method includes detecting the traffic event based on the average deceleration for each cell of interest at each timestep.

A system in a vehicle includes a first sensor to obtain first sensor data from a first field of view and provide a first top-view feature representation. The system also includes a second sensor to obtain second sensor data from a second field of view with an overlap with the first field of view and provide a second top-view feature representation. Processing circuitry implements a neural network and provides a top-view stixel representation based on the first top-view feature representation and the second top-view feature representation. The top-view three-dimensional stixel representation is used to control an operation of the vehicle.

A method of tracking an object includes checking points generated by a LiDAR sensor to determine a first interpolation reference point and a second interpolation reference point when there are missing points being associated with the object, and generating interpolation points to replace the missing points between the first interpolation reference point and the second interpolation reference point.
